    Backplate and Wing Round Table

    My opinion is that without the slots for the cam bands, will be very hard to do without the STA using your DRIS wing. I do not mean that this is impossible, you can just cut the slots using an hot iron. After this to stabilise the tank from rolling left-right, you can add this: OMS Soft Single...

    How would you clip this light??

    Generally speaking handling the light using the goodman handle is a sort of clipping to yourself :) A bit of patience and a round file should fix this unconvenient issue - did I mention some elbow oil ?

    How would you clip this light??

    You are right, but how long should the light be clipped ? I think just during task requiring both hands - e.g. during tanks rotation (in a multi stage dive) or during the DSMB deployment. Yes, I see that the light would be hanging, but it would also be less streamlined and, just in case of...

    How would you clip this light??

    If it was a double ender instead of a boltsnap the light could be clipped to the right d-ring either facing downward or upward.

    Diving shorts w/pockets or strap on thigh pocket?

    Using SB shorts with pockets over my wet and semi-dry suits. Never regret them, especially in tropical water when I really wouldn't know where to stove items.

    Diver identity - how to increase underwater

    Oh no, we could never dive together: I use the same reflective belt around my tank that is the same as your... Just in case I'll change the reflective belt colour: don't do the same please.

    Marsa Alam without a Live-Aboard

    Emperor's liveaboards are great, so have fun with them. For what concerns diving from shore, or very close to it, the dives are pleasant, colorful and very easy. Sometime with surprise (dugongo - very rare, turtles often). You will not regret diving along the shoreline - their house reef. Happy...

    Shearwater Perdix AI

    SPG stuck to a reading greater than zero happened two times to me in 15 years. It is because few salt water drops get into the body and salt crystals developed on the axle where the hand is attached. When pressure is released, they interpose into the gear teeth preventing the hand from returning...

    Perdix AI and left port

    I also experienced some very short loss of signal while my wrist was along my body, waiting about 1 sec before the reading was good again. I shortly noticed that raising the wrist to read the tank pressure (being too lazy to unclip the SPG). I can't notice any significant signal loss in the...

    Actual Experience with Shearwater AI

    I have a suggestion: this should work for every version without be annoying on those using the non-AI version. The log has 3 pages (let's call depth/temp/summary - thanks joneill). When the AI is enabled (at least a trasmitter) there could be a 4th page (maybe to be displayed just after the...

    Scubapro BCD Remote Exhaust Elbow Spring - Knighthawk

    If you can measure spring diameter, length and coil diameter, should be easy to find a compatible one. I'm wandering if it is similar to those in the OPV valves from closed SMB or wings. could you check just opening one from a buddy ?

    Scubaboard barely working

    I can witness that during the last week Chrome had at least a couple of updates. During the same period I had similar issues (no scrolling, refusing keyboard inputs, wrong focus) on many different sites - the worse was eBay, but many other suffered from the problems. No issue on SB though.

    Oceanic Computers being Discontinued?

    Sake of curiosity ? Why not ? Even the possibility to analyse past dives could be worthing, especially if there is improvement evidence.

    Weight Pockets

    It happened that, when my buddy recovered the BCD from the boat in the evening, one of the pocket was missing ... we continue the days without it.. Once at home she bought another set (2) of pockets ... Now we use the third one as spare...

    Help ! Need advice about diving with a wounded toe ?

    I agree, but you are used to them, and I hope that you usually have no open wound where they can easily go. That's why I'd keep the wound as sterile as possible. Maybe is an overshooting, but better safe than sorry.
